TRO-lapalooza (feat. Claudia Yoli Ferla)

Wednesday, February 12th, 2025

Today, the First Circuit Court of Appeals has denied Donald Trump’s bid to continue withholding federal grants; Donald fired the USAID inspector general one day after the IG released a report criticizing the dismantling of the agency; Judge Amy Berman Jackson has reinstated Hampton Dillinger as special counsel after Trump wrongfully terminated him; a federal judge in Boston expanded the restraining order against Trump cutting aid to the National Institute of Health; Trump has issued an order for a massive reduction in force of federal workers; Kash Patel lied to Congress when he said he didn’t have anything to do with the FBI and DoJ purge; a judge has ordered the CDC, HHS, and FDA to restore deleted web pages with health information; thousands of Danes have signed a petition to buy California from the United States; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
